The stage is set at Arthur Ashe Stadium, where Jannik Sinner and Taylor Fritz are poised for an epic showdown, each determined to make history. As the US Open final approaches, the spotlight shines on their on-court battle but fans are also curious to know who among these two stars holds a greater financial net worth.

While Taylor Fritz is eager to end the long-standing American title drought at Flushing Meadows, Jannik Sinner is determined to give it his all in pursuit of his second Grand Slam victory. Sinner, who is currently ranked #1 in the world, has not only achieved success on the court but has created remarkable wealth as well. As per a list released by Forbes, Sinner is ranked fifth on the list of the highest-paid tennis players for 2024, with a total earning of $26.6 million, out of which $11.6 million are on-court earnings.

Talking about the total prize money earned by Sinner throughout his career, it’s a little more than $24 million, according to ATP’s official website. However, that’s only the prize money, the on-court earnings. Sinner has also endorsed several brands. The Italian star was signed by Head for his on-court apparel until 2019, before he switched to Nike, though he still uses Head’s racquets.

Sinner has also been named brand ambassador by multinational businesses such as Gucci, Rolex, Lavazza, Parmigiano Reggiano, Technogym, Alfa Romeo, and FastWeb. Talking about Sinner’s net worth though, which is different from absolute earnings, it’s $16 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Coming to Taylor Fritz now, he has shown remarkable skills in navigating his way to the US Open final, but he will have a tough opponent in Jannik Sinner.

Being the first American man to make it to a Slam final since Andy Roddick’s 2009 Wimbledon loss to Roger Federer, Fritz has accomplished a historic milestone. He might become the first American man to win the US Open singles title in more than two decades if he beats Sinner. No American has won the men’s singles title at Flushing Meadows since Andy Roddick last won it in 2003.

Fritz has won eight titles during his career and his total career earnings stand at $16.6 million as of 2024, according to ATP Tour’s official website. Since 2019, Fritz’s income has doubled. Among his financial gains is a noteworthy $1 million award from the Diriyah Tennis Cup in 2022. The American star’s net worth is, however, estimated to be $3 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
